Not right?
Freddy’s heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "Teacher, what’s wrong?"
His status as the top student in the school was certain, how could it not be right?
Willow Crawford quickly looked over, "Teacher, what happened?"
The horoom teacher was also very puzzled, "It seems Freddy is not the top student; soone else is."
How could that be?
Everyone gathered around,
"Teacher, did you make a mistake?"
"Teacher, if Freddy isn’t the top student, then who is it?"
The horoom teacher shook his head, "I don’t know... let check..."
The horoom teacher clicked the mouse to refresh the page, and the school rankings imdiately ca into view.
Freddy was indeed not the top student; he was second in the school, Willow Crawford ranked third, and above them was soone else, the real top student.
That person was... Miles Linden!
Willow Crawford’s mind froze when she saw the na; she couldn’t think straight: Miles Linden, it was Miles Linden!
She looked over the na "Miles Linden" repeatedly; there was no mistake, it couldn’t be wrong.
Willow’s anxious heart finally relaxed; this result was unexpected, but... it was sothing she hoped for. Just earlier, she couldn’t believe Freddy was going to win; she kept thinking Miles Linden would give her a big surprise!
Hiss.
Everyone gasped, looking at the na "Miles Linden" with expressions of disbelief; Miles Linden? How could it be?
Freddy’s eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, Miles Linden, how could he be the top student?
Miles Linden was a slacker, and... he didn’t even take the math exam.
"Teacher, is this a mistake, how could Miles Linden be, why him?" Freddy shouted emotionally.
The horoom teacher looked at Miles Linden’s scores, his voice trembling, "No mistake, it’s him, it’s Miles Linden. Look at his scores: Chinese 150, Math 0, English 150, Science 300, total score 600. Except for math, all his other subjects are... perfect scores, perfect scores! I’ve been teaching for many years, and I’ve never encountered such a situation."
Willow Crawford and Freddy also saw Miles Linden’s scores; apart from math, everything was perfect.
aning, he managed to overpower Freddy by one point despite missing the math exam; isn’t that infuriating?
Freddy kept shaking his head, "Impossible, the exams were so difficult this ti, how did Miles Linden score perfect marks in all?"
"Yeah, the exams were so difficult, how did Miles Linden manage perfect scores?"
"Moreover, Principal Young gave the spot for the digital programming competition to Miles Linden, which ans... his forte should be math."
"Oh my, what kind of person is this Miles Linden?"
"Thinking back now, him suddenly joining First High, with Principal Young protecting him repeatedly, there must have been a reason."
"Could it be that Miles Linden was hiding his talents all along, and we were deceived by his facade, he’s actually a genius?"
People were discussing, now thinking of Miles Linden as a mystery.
Freddy’s face was extrely grim; he had always had a bad feeling, and now it was confird. He lost the competition and beca a laughingstock.
"Principal! Principal, you’re here!" At this ti, Principal Young walked in.
All the students, including the horoom teacher, rushed to him eagerly asking, "Principal, Miles Linden didn’t take the math exam, yet scored perfect on all others. What’s going on, who exactly is this Miles Linden?"
Principal Young knew he couldn’t hide the truth any longer; he hadn’t intended to deceive. When he lured Miles Linden to First High, it took him much ti and effort, but Miles Linden was too low-key, asking him to keep it confidential before joining.
Now, it was Miles Linden himself who beca famous after the exam, not Principal Young leaking the information.
Principal Young smiled and gestured, "I know everyone is curious about Miles Linden and speculates how he ca into First High. I won’t hide it any longer, Miles Linden is not so slacker; his intelligence is beyond normal, he’s a math genius."
Those words caused shock, making everyone realize Miles Linden was truly a genius.
If guessed correctly, he was not just a genius, but a formidable one.
Freddy felt like the whole world turned surreal; the person he’d always underestimated turned out to be a super-intelligent math genius. No wonder Miles Linden acted so arrogant before him; his taunts must have seed ridiculous to Miles Linden, who probably always saw him as a clown.
Freddy’s face turned ashen; this competition was utterly self-defeating, and he lost completely.
Soon, the school announced the rankings, hanging the list high on the honor board, with Miles Linden’s na highlighted in red, drawing attention from the entire school.
Rachel Underwood found it unbelievable; she clung to Willow Crawford’s arm, "Willow, is this true, everyone is saying Miles Linden is a genius, the famous schools are all talking about him, and many people want to see this genius Miles Linden."
Willow Crawford knew Miles Linden had made a na for himself, and it was the honor he deserved. She was proud of him, proud.
But Rachel said again, "Willow, Miles Linden hid himself deeply, clearly being a genius, but he pretended like a slacker who skipped classes or slept. He really fooled us, it’s so hateful!"
Willow flinched slightly; Rachel hit the nail on the head, Miles Linden did it intentionally.
His intentions were quite obvious.
That night, she struggled with a math problem; he drew shapes on the notebook to hint her, but claid he was just doodling.
He also said his grades weren’t good, asking her to tutor him, while speaking "I like you" in more than ten languages and teasing her as "Teacher Willow."
What’s more outrageous was this, he said if he won the competition, she would be his.
Him being a genius, he couldn’t lose; he knew he’d win.
He set up a ploy to deceive her.
Really despicable.
Then, there was commotion in her ear; Rachel secretly pulled her sleeve whispering, "Willow, look quickly, the genius Miles is coming!"
Willow turned around to see the crowd parting to make way, and Miles Linden’s handso figure slowly ca into view.
Miles Linden arrived.
His entrance instantly acted like a magnet drawing everyone’s gaze.
With the "genius" aura and his naturally aloof deanor, Miles Linden was already intimidating everyone, prompting them to clear a path for him to walk through the crowd’s center.
Willow looked at him as Miles Linden lifted his head, his gaze falling on her.
Amidst a sea of people, the two t eyes.
Willow ended the eye contact first, furrowing her brows, and directly turned away.
